This is sort of my point, and what I was hoping for. Why would they schedule me if they cannot even look at it for more than 3 days? Similarly, I completely understand that they may need to order parts. But just tell me what it's going to take, and perhaps let me pick the truck back up after an...
I have 2024 Lightning that needs the upper control arm recall repair. I also have a significant amount of water in the front light bar. A couple of weeks ago I decided to test my local dealer (not where I purchased the truck).
I called the service number on a Thursday, and the nice lady took...
I am curious about leaving these things in the frunk multiple hours/days. I assume these fridge/freezers generate some heat and that there is no ventilation in the frunk. Is there any concern that it gets too hot to operate, that over the longer term it might shorten the life of the fridge, or...
It’s funny, I turned off automatic updates because I have a 2024 and don’t want anything to change for the worse via an update. The truck is fine as is…
Some prior threads that I used to help purchase and install mine.

Thanks for all the feedback. Thought I would give an update.
First, I used a multimeter to check the truck yesterday, and it was 13.5V while ON, and 12.5V while OFF, and 14.5V while OFF but plugged in. All seemed normal in terms of operation.
However, I had one more weird issue. I plugged it...
Just read this thread about resetting the BMS after disconnecting the 12V. I wonder if I should trickle charge the 12V and do the BMS reset when it's full.

Do you...
I wanted to share my experience to help other owners who might face similar issues. Reading this forum informed me that the 12V is a common issue, and this knowledge helped me to not overreact when I saw all of the warnings. I almost called a tow truck…
TLDR is that the truck would not start...
I love data and graphs, so thanks for showing this. Gives a sense of variability and the effect of temp.
I have one question. I wonder if you could get the temperature (low or avg) for each of those days? You could then run a regression and get the impact of temp on efficiency, graphing...
Another thread that might be relevant to your issue: https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/power-outlet-are-timing-off-after-6-minutes.26300/
I can think of multiple use cases in which there is either a low continuous draw (running lights, fans, or other small accessory while camping) or higher but intermittent draw that are less frequent than 6 mins (chainsaw example above, many work related uses, fridge freezer possibly). It’s...
I don’t plan to tow, but specifically got max tow because I live in Louisiana and hoped the added cooling would be beneficial in summer. I guess we will see.
I have a 2024 Flash (Dec purchase), and this thread inspired me to experiment. I tested 3 items (see below). For all tests, i got in truck and shut the door, started the truck, turned on pro power to rear outlets, ensured pro power was set to stay on with the truck off, turned off the truck...
I think this is solid advice since you will have to fast charge on the trip. So get as close to 100% as you can before you leave, use PlugShare to find high-rated chargers on the route, and ABRP to provide estimates on when to charge. Then, watch your efficiency on the first bit of the trip...
I agree to call Qmerit. They may not know what is happening since they basically forward your information to a local company. However, Qmerit has some control because, in my experience, you pay Qmerit, and then Qmerit pays the electrician. Qmerit likely deals with multiple electricians, so they...
I am a relatively new owner, but thought I would add my 2 cents:
1. I agree with the suggestion to hire an electrician if you have any uncertainty. I would not assume the existing wiring is correct. It seems wise to take the unneeded slot for the kitchen, put it in a new breaker, and run a new...
I am pretty sure that the 2024 can run the outlets while the truck is off. There is a section in the owners manual describing using the bed or frunk outlets/controls when the truck is off.
I am sure these questions have been covered before, but after reading a few threads I wanted to ask since some were old and the software might have changed. I have a 24 Flash:
I recently waited outside a medical clinic for ~1.5 hours and needed climate control. I initially started in Accessory...
I have an OTA update in my cue. I turned auto updates off because my truck is working fine and I am afraid automatic OTAs might mess something up. December 2024 purchase.
